This angel was designed by me as a Christmas present for my sister’s boyfriend’s grandma. It’s a very easy design and quick to make – it only took one day together with designing and writing up the notes. It is a very elegant angel which looks good as a Christmas standing decoration and can also be hung on the tree.

Important note:
About 10 rows from the pattern are adjusted from a pattern for Pansy Doily by Priscilla Doilies. The rest is completely improvised. I lost my original notes when my computer restarted, so I am only 90% sure the pattern is described exactly - so feel free to let me know if you find any mistakes.

Warning:
The bottom half of the body, where the bricks are, looks a little off, so the pattern may need fixing there.
Things you’ll need:
15-20 grams Super Spezial DK 100% Acrylic yarn in White (or other DK yarn to obtain gauge)
